PRICING

Except where noted otherwise, the list price ("List Price") displayed for products on our Site represents the full retail price listed on the product itself, suggested by the manufacturer or supplier, or estimated in accordance with standard industry practice. The List Price is a comparative price estimate and may or may not represent the prevailing price in every area on any particular day. For certain items that are offered as a set, the List Price may represent "open-stock" prices, which means the aggregate of the manufacturer's estimated or suggested retail price for each of the items included in the set. Where an item is offered for sale by one of our merchants, the List Price may be provided by the merchant. With respect to items sold on the Site, we cannot confirm the price of an item until you order; however, under most circumstances we do NOT charge your credit card until we begin to prepare your order for shipment. Despite established practices, a small number of the items in our catalog may be mispriced. If we discover a mispricing, we will do one of the following: - If an item's correct price is lower than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount and ship you the item. - If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Please note that this policy applies only to products sold and shipped by ANIME NETWORK. Your purchases from third-party sellers of ANIME NETWORK products may be charged at the time you place your order, and third-party sellers may follow different policies in the event of a mispriced item.
